Good Lord! That's a Twister !!!!

On the surface though, it seems that Hollywood would prevail. It's *their* property -- they hired the actors, they produced the films, they paid the bills.

With smaller, independant film-makers and studios, it could be a whole different story though. HOW I would dearly love to see more, smaller, indies come 'up to the plate', and bat a few home runs for the public. We need more indies to at least begin counter-balancing the mega output of the mega studios. I would very much like to see these indies strike up reasonable deals with the internet providers.

Together they could lead the way, and provide a good example for the Hollywood biggies.

And a lot of any of that might never happen if a few of the big names don't get involved. I'd like to see folks like Sylvester Stallone, Harrison Ford, Steve Martin, Billy Crystal, and six million others, give the indies a shot.

(Never gonna happen, right?)
